My personal happy place to come and enjoy one of my many favorites, toasted brick oven rolls with butter and a tall hazel nut latte. Always enjoy their tasty Italian breads made right there on the premises, as well as all their pastries and cakes. Customer services is top notch and the music is great. I ordered my daughters bridal shower cookies and everyone enjoyed them. I look forward to going to the sweet shop on weekends, never disappointed. If you're in the neighborhood come in and enjoy the coffee of the day and try their breads, and assorted pastries. Thank you, Sweet Shop Bakery Maria

You have the option of customizing your own box of cookies/pastries, and they have various box sizes as well.

The staff is helpful and friendly, they always make sure everything is secure and packaged neatly. This inside of the store and display case is clean and organized. The cakes and pastries are always fresh and taste amazing. Approved and recommended!

Pro Tip - Skip the jars and focus intensely on the bakery creations. They won't last as long as the plaster and clay, but taste oh so much better, and definitely make your day. My sampling of their Brownies, Peanut Butter Cookies, Lemon Iced Petit Four, Pistachio Cookies, and a few more I have forgotten due to sugar rush, was an overwhelming high. All delicious with great taste and texture. Service was exceptional from moment of entry to final goodbyes.

The order is brought out to you but that is the only table service you receive. You collect your own napkins and utensils from the station located near the restroom, and you toss out your trash. PROS: - no stairs, easy entrance for those who use walkers, wheel chairs, strollers, etc. - expansive menu including hot food options, milkshakes, etc. (more than just a coffee shop menu) - cool vibe, antique decor, string lighting and variety of heights for seating options (high top tables, standard tables, couches, etc) - amazing bakery selection including novelty cakes; authentic and professional CONS: - sometimes lacks available seating, especially on weekends - sometimes lacks available parking, especially on weekends - could use better ongoing table clean up My go to drink is the iced toffee coffee. My go to breakfast is the yogurt & honey which is a generous portion. I also enjoy the potato peppers & eggs. For lunch they have an expansive salad menu. I really enjoy the Mediterranean salad (which used to be called the Israeli salad). This is a family friendly establishment. Always fun to take a stroll through the antique store which you can access from the dining establishment.

One of the servers let me know they didn't have any apple turnovers, so they gave me an apple puff pastry. Imagine my surprise when I got to my seat to find that it was completely hollow, not a single apple in sight! So I went back to the counter to let them know. The servers were very kind and took pictures to let their boss know, and gave me an apple fritter instead. I guess third times the charm, because that was very tasty. We stayed at our table for a while, and it got very busy. Some of my friends waited a long time for their food to be ready, but everything did taste good. I'll probably go back and hopefully have a better experience with ordering my food, because I really did enjoy the energy and everything I tried.

I loved everything. If you have a sweet tooth like me, this place can definitely become a little dangerous, especially for the health goals. The banana foster coffee was really good, and the flavor paired surprisingly well with the dessert. I've always heard when you visit a bakery for the first time, you should start with the staples, so I went with the chocolate chip cookie. And, there were so many options that choosing just one was a challenge. That first bite did not disappoint, with melted chocolate inside, just like how I like it. You can taste the sea salt, but it's subtle and doesn't overpower the cookie at all. Such a well executed cookie, so good. The service provided was also pleasant. I'm already looking forward to trying the other flavors of cookies, as well as some of their other drinks. Parking was also pretty easy for me since it's on a corner nearby a residential area. There's also a lot behind the bakery, but there was a sign saying it's for staff, so I'm not sure if customers can park there. Definitely worth a visit!

I tried the toffee chocolate chip which was a delightful twist on the tried-and-true formula. It was definitely loaded with toffee. The cookies are pretty big and cost about $5 per cookie, so it was hard to justify trying more than 1 flavor. The taste is good, but I wish they were a little smaller/cheaper to justify the indulgence. There was also a menu board slide show where I briefly saw an image of a sundae, but it never came back around, so I didn't end up ordering it. There was a pretty extensive drink menu as well. There wasn't really a lot of seating, but they pack up well to go. I would come back to try some of the other flavors and menu options.

We also saw many folks going in and out of the street to go to this donut shop. We spontaneous did a U-turn and I'm glad we did! They have such interesting selection of specialty donuts. They have a couple base flavor for donuts, but they will decorate and add toppings as requested afterwards. They also sell what looks like 3D printed key chains and figurines inside the store as well. Another great find also includes their breakfast options. They have savory donuts such as chicken waffle donut or bacon-cheese donuts. While I was tempted to try, we had already ordered half dozen specialty donuts. Will definitely stop by next time we're driving through the area to try the savory donuts!
